Rough Music is a selection from the books and poetry manuscripts written by Ari Sitas over the past 25 years.
His poems are notable for their historical-political astuteness flavored with a romantic surrealism. He writes in a variety of poetic forms, from exuberant jazz-like improvisations to astringent political observations, from humorous dialogues to diary-like narratives. Though always complex, the warmth and self-interrogation of his poems ensures their wide appeal.
